The point being to do the job up front to screen your tenants so that you don't have to later evict. 

However, this is an awesome opportunity and I'm jealous!

I am fortunate to have a very good paying job, so saving for more investments is not an issue, and the risks I’m willing to take can be a bit higher than the average beginner in real estate.
